Import Tips
• Verify Brix value using a calibrated refractometer at 20°C and include lab certification in documentation to confirm it does not exceed 20
• Provide proof of single citrus fruit origin (e.g
• orange only) to avoid reclassification as mixed juices under 2009.39
• Label containers clearly with concentration ratio and reconstitution instructions to meet FDA food safety standards
